Recitation By Abdul Aziz bin Saad AlNaser

There are various ahadith related to Surah Baqarah which highlight its importance.

~Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "Do not turn your houses into graves. Shaitaan is expelled from any house in which Surat al-Baqarah is recited." (Sahih Muslim)

~Prophet Mohammad (saw) said: “Read and recite the Quran, for it will be an intercessor for its people on the Day of Resurrection. Recite the two illuminating ones, Al Baqarah and Al Emran, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection as two clouds or canopies or two flocks of birds (giving shade). Read the Baqarah, for having it is a blessing, leaving it is sorrow and the black magicians can not overcome it”. (M:Mosafreen;252).

The blessed Companion Abdullah ibn Mas'ood (radiallahu anh) says that 10 verses of this Surah Baqarah have such an effectiveness that if a person recites them at night, neither Satan nor any jinn will enter his house, nor would he or his family will be afflicted with sickness, calamity or sorrow that night and that if the 10 verses are recited over a man who is suffering from a fit of madness, his condition will improve. The ten verses are as follows: 4 verses from the first part of Surah al Baqara, ayatal kursi (i.e. the verse of the Throne), 2 verses after ayatal kursi and 3 verses from the last part of Surah al Baqara.

If a person recites Ayatal kursi 313 times after Asar namaz, on Friday then he may be granted with a great bounty from Allah (swt).

If a person recites Ayatal kursi 17 times after namaz asar on Friday then his prayers will be answered immediately, Inshallah.

If a person recites Ayatal kursi before leaving his house then he will be protected from every calamity and will reach his home safely.

If a person feels scared at night or has nightmares then before going to sleep he should read durud shareef and then recite Ayatal kursi thrice after saying bismillah and then blow over his chest. Inshallah he may overcome all his fears.

If a person is afflicted with poverty and is facing troubles then he should recite Ayatal kursi 17 times after Fajar namaz, daily. Inshallah Allah (swt) shall grant him with wealth and also create avenues to fulfill his legitimate desires.

If someone’s child has lost interest in studies then the father or mother should recite Ayatal kursi by sitting besides the child, while he is asleep, till a period of 1 month. Inshallah the child will start studying diligently.

If a person is critically ill then someone else should sit besides the sick person and recite Ayatal kursi 89 times. Inshallah the sick person will completely recover from his ailments.
